i feel like every post you make you mention "toxic"
Could be because I feel so strongly against it and wanting to have fun playing a
game without getting corpsecamped, ninja'd or whatnot these lowlifes does to others on a daily basis. I think most feel that way too
Corpse camping is part of the game wether you like it or not.
If you're scared of getting corpse camped by someone you should consider traveling and questing with guildies. Heck, you could even hire "bodyguards" if no friends or guilies are willing to hold you by the hand while you go out of the city.
Ye, since those of us who dont necessarily like the pvp ruleset dont have any other choice than to go along with it if they wanna play on vanilla, perhaps the staff should offer "bodyguarding" services for those that want someone holding their hand :rolleyes2:
Unless you played Ultima Online or Sullon Zek no rules pvp on EQ stop whining about PvP. Especially WoW PvP. Jesus christ with this "toxic" crap. People don't know anything about "pvp" or "toxic".
"Oh noes I got killed on a casual ruleset MMO, lost nothing but 5 minutes of my time, my widdle feelings got hurt, let me rage on the forums about my vagina being swollen to the size of a basketball and all the bad people who did exactly what the server was for"
Hey, we got a badass over here! Feeling macho much?
If the server was "intended" for corpsecamping, about 99% would leave. Corpsecamping is the brown stain of pvp ruleset, people use the ruleset and what they could do with it just to ruin the game for others in any possible way. Just because "they can"! Thats the thing. But thankfully the majority of players, even on a pvp server, dont do corpsecamping because they know how shitty it is and how they would feel if someone did it to them. Some kind of empathy and reflection, sadly some pricks lack this ability.

I played vanilla retail in PvP server, being a snot-nosed brat I was, PvE servers seemed "too gay" at the time of character creation. World PvP was fun for the few months before the honor patch, because the only incentive to participate in PvP was pure fun and no rewards from ganking. The whole game was still new so I was blind for the fact 1-vs-1 world PvP is always unbalanced for many reasons and therefore basically unsatisfactory.
At start I didn't really even knew what this game was about. Only after good amount of levelling I began to learn the MMORPG mechanics - how there is very good group synergy and cooperation possibilities. If I want to run dick hard at red players like some mindless bot there are 584754890704574 online shooters for PvP. I have another gripe against PvP, how the "so tough" PvP players whined and Blizzard's response to balance inherently unbalanced aspect of the game especially starting from TBC ruined many features, but that's even more offtopic.
This is all pointless. Kronos won't turn into something else. But I believe being a PvE realm is a good feature for the future contenders to snatch players from Nos & Kronos. After all PvE realms had the most population.
TLDR: This is one of the rare good games where I can play WITH people, not AGAINST them. Don't want to water down the experience by playing it in a way which is sub-par and unfair and unsportsmanlike for it's purpose.
Even though Kronos probably wont go making a PVE server, I nevertheless thank you for your post. It explains alot of my thinking as well and its good to see someone else annoyed by these "oh so tough" pvpers.
I would say it differently - It's a ROLE PLAYING game in a world of two factions that hate each other. So, if you are a patriot, It's your duty to prepare a hell for the other faction :smile: And it's up to them to retaliate.
Be very careful to mention "Roleplaying" to pvpers, they will heckle you with f*ggot all day long. I remember when I said that I enjoyed the occasional roleplaying myself, holy cow the amount of abuse I got for that statement. I didnt even get the chance to explain that I meant it as a reason to PVP, why else would I attack alliance if not for the glory of the horde?
